Pros

Very nice people Ok mediocre compensation Bonus scheme

Cons

-Hierarchical -Very old school executive management style -An inordinate high percentage of older workforce (which is not appealing for the younger generation) -A rigid flex/hybrid policy which does not encourage growth for individual contributors. (At CENV for individual contributors it's 3 day in the office, 2 days at home, for managers and above it's 4 days in the office and 1 day at home. This is very outdated in this day and age.

Pros

I had a very positive internship experience, Canon really values their interns and lets them do all sorts of special projects. All employees are super kind and I would love to return there full time if there is an opportunity available.

Cons

Must drive to Melville (no train station in walking distance)

Pros

Everyone is genuinely nice and cares about their jobs. Nice offices, and big corporate backing. Can't really say that the experience was negative but for high acheivers/ ambitious people probably not what you're looking for.

Cons

A ton of bueracracy, there are some many layers of approval that even the simplest things take months to get done. They never take any risks and ideas are very top down. Slow career progression and mediocre salary. Only way to progress is to hope someone in the same position retires or leaves.
